COFFROTH STILL POPULAR IN WEST

William? Finds Old Fight and Horse Track Promoter Idolized in Seaport Town Citizens Urge Veteran Jim to Take Over Operation of New Race Course; Lindbergh Trained Like Prize Fighter in Border City. BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 27.—This is one of the lovelier seaport cities. The sports mob knows it mainly as the gateway to old Tijuana and newer Agua Caliente where racing and kindred gambling activities flourished under Mexican auspices. The mob probably knows it, too, as the baseball home of Chief Meyers, the Redskin catcher who worked under John McGraw when the old Giants were roaring to championships. The chief got his start in these parts. He's still out here, a fat, puffy cld man, dreaming of the past on

an Indian reservation For a time the folks out here thought they had a serious contender for the heavyweight cham-

pionship in Lee Ramage, a product of the local rings. That was before Mr. Ramage’s strategians were betrayed into the error of matching the young man with Joe Louis. At this point everything turned black. I suppose you would call aviation a form of

Williams

outdoor sport. Whether you would or not this is where Chanes Augustus Lindbergh built the plane in which he flew the Atlantic Ocean. He was known as Slim to the fellows around the soft beer parlors and the hamburger stands. They still talk of him. Nelson Fisher, the fine young sports editor of the San Diego Sun, says Lindbergh trained for the flight after the manner of a prize fighter. He trained himself to stay awake for long stretches of time. When night came he went on long walks instead of going to bed. Mr. Fisher is afraid some of the citizens looked upon the imaginative young man as a screwball. This is also the home of James Wood Coffroth, the first of America’s great promoters. Indeed Mr. Coffroth Is by way of being a local institution. I am told people come from far points of the country to sec the Coffroth manor, which is something to see at that, to get a fleeting glimpse of the great man as he walks through his gardens flanked by his two bulldogs. Promoted Many Fights If you follow sports at all you don’t need to be told Mr. Coffroth promoted more history-making fights than any five other promoters. He is also the gent who conceived the idea of erecting a race track across the Mexican border down here. Out of this venture grew the world’s first SIOO,OOO race, the Coffroth Handicap. The present-day Santa Anita Handicap is a carbon copy of it. Mr. Coffroth is a round-faced, amiable, gray-haired gent who is crowding the sixties. He is out of sports now, though the natives are urging him to return as the operator of anew race track which is to be built on the outskirts of the city. Such is Mr. Coffroth’s standing in the community that the good people don’t want to lose their dough to anybody but him. Perhaps they figure if they do they’ll stand a chance to get some of it back. Mr. Coffroth is a pushover for the bite. I am told by those who seem to know that it is positively sickening the way the man is all bitten up. Government Money If and when the new track gets under way it will .follow the Santa Anita outfit in dates. Unless I am misinformed the money for its construction is coming from the government in the form of agricultural appropriations. In a sense this would put your Uncle Sam in the horse racing racket, and in view of the tremendous success Santa Anita has experienced —a mere $25,000,000 season, that's all—you can scarcely blame your Uncle Samuel. And it will naturally follow, I suppose, that when the good people write their congressmen in the future they will get the morning line instead of a package of seeds. But to get back to Mr. Coffroth; as a local institution he. has a lot of opposition right now. The California exposition is on and it is a terrific draw. The records show that 5,000,000 persons gave it the up and down. This is more by a full million or so than the Cofiroth manor drew. So you can appreciate that the exposition is stupendous, and it is. He Grows Dahlias Even Mr. Coffroth is on the boost for the exposition, despite the fact it has taken some of the play away from him as public exhibit A of the community. “It is indeed a wonderful show and you should take it m while you are here.” urged Mr. Cofiroth. "You will find the flowers particularly lovely.” I wasn’t sure at first I had heard correctly but candor compels me to confess that what Mr. Coffroth actually said was I would find the flowers lovely. I am afraid it will come as a severe shock to Broadway sleep-puts to leam Mr. Coffroth has turned to horticulture in a serious way. Indeed, the former prize fight and race track promoter brazenly admits he won a silver cup or something for showing the finest dahlias grown in the county last year, and he vigorously resents any suggestion that he had his own guy in the middle of the ring. “I copped the duke on the level,” insists the champion dahlia grower of southern California.

A. B. C. Workers Relax as Tourney Time Nears Elmer Baumgarten Expected to Arrive in City Next Week; Alleys Nearing Completion.

BY BERNARD HARMON WITH most arrangements leading up to the opening of the A. B. c. tournament at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum March 9 completed, local boosters of the mammoth affair are spending a few days of relaxation awaiting arrival from Milwaukee of Elmer H. Baumgarten and his staff of assistants. Baumgarten, secretary of the American Bowling Congress, will move his headquarters to the city early next week and will remain here to supervise the event until its completion April 14. In the meantime hammers are beating a steady rythm at the coliseum and the adjoining exposition building. A. B. C. offices, check rooms, dressing rooms, cafeteria, cigar stands, barber shop, souvenir booths and other concession stands are rapidly nearing completion in the exposition building. In the coliseum a large staff of Bruns-wick-Balke-Collender alley experts are putting the finishing touches on the 32 alleys that are to bear the brunt of the five weeks of action. The new drives are expected to be completed some time this week, according to Chuck Collier and Bill Slaughter, Brunswick representatives, who are supervising the huge construction job. In the meantime, teams scheduled to shoot on the various booster squads are busy organizing. Yesterday at the Pennsylvania Alleys, George Godwin, of the Indianapolis Fire Department, lined up several of the 32 quintets that are to bowl under the colors of the smoke-eaters.

Davies Is Tripped by Bantam Champ (Continued From Page Twenty) that landed squarely on his solar plexis. Davies went down, climbed to his feet again and started back, but the referee stepped between the two and raised Brown's hand in victory as the bell rang. It was unquestionably the correct thing for the referee to do. Thompson, Indianapolis Negro heavyweight, lost by decision in a slow, dull bout with Quincy Troupe, dark-skinned St. Louis husky. The Hoosier Negro was unimpressive for the first time since entering Golden Gloves competition this year. Elza failed to land one square blow duiing the three-round go and was guilty of falling repeatedly into clinches. His opponent, far from aggressive, appeared to tire after the first round and also “dogged it” in the next two. Good Pro Bet Bantam Champion Brown came back after his triumph over Davies to outpoint William Joyce, clever Gary Negro, in an exciting scrap. Though the 118-pound division is one of the “toughest” of the lot, Brown appears certain to retain his title. His “class” is so evident that many ringsiders have predicted he will go far if ever he decides to turn pro. Fred Deßorde, manager of the Indianapolis troupe, asserted that he was pleased with the showing made by the team. Recalling that some of the boys lost by close decisions — notably Harry Brown and Norval Binninger. The Catholic Youth Organization is by far the outstanding team in the event.

MOST BRILLIANT By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Gene Venzke, University of Pennsylvania speedster, today was named by spectators as the most brilliant athlete in last Saturday's indoor A. A. U. track and field championships. By winning the 1500-meter title in world record time, Venzke received 11,534 firstplace votes. Dave Burke, Marquette freshman, who tied with Cornelius Johnson at anew record for the high jump, was second with 4095. Eddie O'Brien, Syracuse, who cracked the 600-meter mark, was third with 4483. Venzke will receive a trophy from the A. A. U.

More than 50 members of the department turned out for the organization meeting, and during the course of the afternoon got in a few practice licks. Another group will assemble there today, and Godwin expects to have some crack organizations assembled at the conclusion of the session. Women desiring to get acquainted with the “feel” of tournament alleys in preparation for the big event scheduled for feminine pastimers on the night following the closing of the A. B. C.. will have an opportunity when the Pennsy stages a 350 handicap doubles affair on March 7 and 8. Race Johns is in charge of the event and information can be obtained from her at Riley 0078. tt n n THE Indianapolis League members still were pounding away at those new three-pound-eight-ounce maples last night and they found them just about as tough to knock down as they were in their initial appearance on the alleys, one week previous. Thirteen individuals tumbled more than 600 pins in their trio of efforts, but only one of the group posted a total that looked anything like the usual run of scores in the circuit. Harry Wheeler, who recently was forced out of the game for several weeks, owing to an operation, continued to show his rivals that his layoff had no ill effects on his scoring prowess. He led the loop and, in fact, every one in action throughout the city, when he tossed games of 269, 197 and 225 for a total of 691. tt a a His top series combined with a 621 by Ed Stevenson, boosted Marott Shoes to the best team total registered during the session. Games of 1056, 913 and 1025 netted the team a 2994 and a triple victory over Coca-Cola, which had Paul Quass with a 611 as its leading scorer. Lieber Brewers and Falls City Hi-Brus were the only other three-game winners of the evening. Paced by Dad Hanna’s 633, the Brewers blanked Marmon-Herring-ton, who had Walt Heckman at 608 and the Brus trounced L. S. Ayres & Cos. through the aid of Joe Fulton’s 607 and Carl Hardin’s 600. Cook’s Goldblumes took another two-time beating, Bowes Seal Fast being their conquerors. Dan Abbott turned in a 643 for the winners, while Jess Pritchett’s 640 was the best the Blumes had to offer. Klee's Set-Up won the odd game over Crystal Flash Gasoline, Bud Schoch being the leading soloist with a 628. With Jerry O’Grady’s 627 as its top count, Lieber Lagers nabbed two games over Stube Club. Martin’s 619 featured for the losers. In the remaining team clash, Acetylene Products Cos. won a pair from Sterling Beer. Dutch Myers’ 613 for the losers was the only 600 for the tilt. , tt a tt A sextet of honor totals emerged from the Uptown Recreation League matches at the Uptown Alleys. When half of the number came from members of Harper’s Garage, that quintet turned in a triple victory over Bader Coffee Cos. and assembled the top team total of the evening, a 2028. They featured a 1058 middle game. Kerman Morgan Jr. with 631, Justin Forsythe with 621 and Freddie Shaw with 604 were the winners’ heavy hitters. Leo Hale posted a 635 for the losers, to cop the solo honors of the session. > Joe Rea gave Hoosier Pete’s a 601 in their three-game victory over Kimmel Furniture. The winners had a 1040 centerpiece. Bill Bowen was the only other 600 shooter. He had a 621 as his L. Strauss & Cos. quintet nabbed a pair of wins from Ks-We-Ba Coffee Cos. In the other team matches, C & D Battery shut out Beck Coal and Coke and City Market downed Cosa Cola twice. tt tt tt George Kennedy again lopped all rivals of the Indianapolis Power fit Light Cos League as they went through their paces at I * llnois Alleys last night.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Fast Prelim Arranged on Armory Card Shannon, Lockwood Rematched to Precede LeeThompson Bout. A six-round melee which may overshadow other bouti on the Hercules A. C. fight card at the Armory tomorrow night has been arranged to complete the 32-round bill. Frankie Lockwood, mauling lightweight from Portland, has been matched with Jimmy Shannon, local scrapper, for the opening bout. Shannon and Lockwood mixed in a semi-final bout at Terre Haute with the Portland pug winning a close decision in a constant toe-to-toe slugging bee. Murl Thompson, St. Louis (Mo.) fighter who will battle Paul (Tennesee) Lee, local featherweight who holds the state championship belt in that division, arrived in town today for a final workout at the Colonial gym. Thompson is in good shape following recent matches with leading top notchers of the Middle West. Lee concluded heavy glove work yesterday afternoon by stepping three fast rounds with Shannon. Lee also has kept in top condition with a rigorous campaign. He defeated Mickey Brown of Cincinnati at Terre Hauto Monday and is scheduled in Chicago next Monday. Packy Gardner, local heavyweight, will encounter Russ Roland of Memphis, Tenn., in the eight-round semiwindup. Another eight session match pits Tommy Merritt and Johnny Netterman together in a renewal of their short-lived duel of last week’s card. Merritt scored a sudden knockout over his opponent last week.

Patty Berg, Miss Miley Hold Pace in Golf Meet Indianapolis Girl Eliminated as Women Links Stars Take Florida Course in Stride. By United Fress ORMOND BEACH, Fla., Feb. 27.—Patty Berg, sensation of the winter golfing circuit, and Marion Miley, trans-Mississippi and Western titleholder, today continued their relentless march to the finals of the South Atlantic women’s championship. Patty, youngster from Minneapolis, pauses momentarily to meet Hilda Livengood, Danville, 111., in a second-round match, while Mrs. Lillian Zech will attempt to match strokes with Miss Miley, comely Kentuckian.

Neither match is considered a serious test for the two girl finalists of the 1935 trans-Mississippi championship, who continued their rivalry over the Florida fairways this winter. In defeating Alice Rutherford, Aiken, S. C., yesterday, Patty continued the pace set in the medal round when she equalled the course record of 73. She fired four birdies and an eagle to win, 7 and 5. On the 213-yard par 4 thirteenth, Patty drove to the pin, and then holed a 25-foot putt for an eagle 2, ending the match. The stocky Minneapolis girl has played 31 holes in the tournament in four under par figures. Dorothy Ellis of Indianapolis encountered a difficult assignment when matched with Lucille Robinson of Des Moines, la., in the first round. Although the Hoosier girl staged a determined battle, she was defeated, 2 and 1. Miss Miley disposed of her opponent in easy fashion. Playing near-par golf all the way, she defeated Mary Peitsch, Evanston, 111., 8 and 7. Miss Livengood, who has earned the dubious honor of meeting Miss Berg today, and Helen Detweiler, Washington, however, staged the most spectacular battle of the day. Miss Detweiler was eliminated 1 up on the eighteenth green, but not until she made a hole-in-one on the seventh. Two other matches today find Mrs. Hill, Kansas City veteran, playing Jane Cothran, Greenville, S. C., and Kathryn Hemphill, Columbia, S. C., paired with Lucille Robinson, Des Moines. $50,000 Race Defy May Be Accepted Discovery, Top Row Match Is in Making. By United Press LOS ANGELES. Feb. 27.—J. H. (Bud) Stotler, trainer of A. G. Vanderbilt’s Discovery, today was reported ready to accept the offer of A. A. Baroni to race his Top Row against any horse that ran in the SIOO,OOO added Santa Anita Handicap for a $50,000 side bet. The only condition Stotler reportedly imposed was that the race be on a weight-for-age basis. The scale of weignts-for-age for 5-year-olds is 129 pounds over a mile and a quarter. Discovery carried 130 pounds in the handicap when he ran seventh and Tcp Row won a disputed victory with 116 pounds up. The Baroni offer followed charges that Top Row fouled Time Supply, Rosemont and Whopper in the stretch. Angered by the charge, Baroni offered to bet $50,000 his horse could beat any of the other handicap contenders. Thom Is Signed to Defend Mat Crown Coach Billy Thom of Indiana University, recognized by the National Wrestling Association as world's junior middleweight champion, is to defend his title against Sailor Parker in a return bout in the main event of the mat show at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. Parker has been a consistent winner in matches at the Hall arena. Two strong supporting bouts are to be signed to complete the card.

High School Indoor Meet Not to Be Held

Because of inadequate facilities in most state high schools, the annual indoor track meet has been abanboned by the Indiana High School Athletic Association, it was announced today. Announcement was made at the same time that the annual swimming meet will be held in Hammond on April 4. The wrestling tournament is to be staged in Bloomington tomorrow and Saturday with approximately 150 matmen competing. As few state schools are equipped with indoor facilities suitable to training for track and field events, the athletes have little opportunity to train for the early meet and are not in proper physical condition for the events. Net Gossip Link Belt Dodge captured a double overtime victory from the Link Belt Ewart squad, 37 to 34, in the Industrial League last night. The Kingan netters won over Armour, 43 to 35, and National Malleable conquered Prest-O-Lite, 21 to 16, in other games. Thoman Shoes will play the Boosters at Beech Grove tonight at 8, and the Beech Grove Boys’ Club is to meet the South Side Boys’ Club at 7. Southern A.
